Representative Text

1 Ever to the Saviour cling.
Trust in Him and none beside;
Never let an earthly thing
Hide from thee the Crucified.

2 Ever cast on Him thy care,
He invites thee so to do;
Never let thy soul despair,
He will surely help thee through.

3 Ever live as in the view
Of the day of glory, near;
Never be to Christ untrue,
Thou shalt soon His glory share.

Since then he has written over 300, and of these a large proportion are in common use.
